Chapter 5: Using Technology to Teach Oral Communication Skills, pages 96 to 102: Developing Speaking Skills 1. Give three times when students benefit from a technology-enchanced environment for the development of their speaking skills: (a) the speech that occurs as students talk to eachother while working on collaborative tasks and projects or while just chating around the computer.
(b) students call on their oral skills to negotioate with each toehr and take risks to use new langauge in order to get across their meaning.
(c) Srudents comunicate via teleconferencing software with authentic audiences around the world and facilitate global technology- based prjects that serve as incentives for this communication. 2. How have the different methods of L2 teaching treated the teaching of speaking? Murphy (1991) points out that some of the methods and approaches most widely discussed in the literature - such as total physical responce, the natural approach, the silent way, and suggestopedia - are more appropriate for the beginning levels of instruction. He reminds practitionares that varying treatments of speaking are based on a broad range of theories whoe merits each teacher will have to evaluate for his or her own particular teaching situation. There has to be a variety of approaches interlinked with one another to be able to recieve the best possible aspects of learning to speak a particular 2nd langauge.
3. Describe the Current Views on Speaing in an L2 Speaking is viewed in the larger context of communication with the focus on the speaker's ability to take in messages, negotiate meaning, and produce comprehensible output. This view recognizes the interactive nature of listening and the crucial role of negotiating meaning in order to produce comprehensible speech. Learning a second langauge now a days has become quite an important thing to acquire in order to be able to communicate with indivudals all aroudn the world, English being the lingua franca of the world, there needs to be a great importance places on the ability to learn the langauge to be able to be socially communicative.
4.Study Tabloe 4.1 on page 98 and give your opinion. The table on pg 98 is quite interesting if you ask my opinion, however, in the grammar translation I think it would be necessary to inact the speaking and listening for particular grammar excises, some students have trouble with grammar and its better to be orally taught rather than completely from the book. There are many important aspects raised in the table but i think all qualities of English should be used int he learning environment of students learning a 2nd language, especially English, they have to exericse all parts of English to keep it fresh in their minds.
6. Describe the different types of oral interaction
There are two categories of being able to different types of oral interaction. Firstly, information routines consist of both information genres such as expository ( which include description, intruction, and comparison) and evaluative routines ( which include explanation, justification, prediction, and decision routines). Secondly, interaction routines are viewed as wither being primaryily service, ( e.g. speech used in a job interview) or a social ( for instance, the small talk you would engage in at a dinner party).
